Kristen Stewart to star in new film Spiritual World
Kristen Stewart reunites with director Olivier Assayas for the upcoming supernatural drama Spiritual World.
Hollywood sensation Kristen Stewart is set to dive back into the realm of the supernatural. The acclaimed actress has officially signed on for a pivotal role in the upcoming production titled Spiritual World, directed by the renowned French filmmaker Olivier Assayas.
A Reunion of Creative Powerhouses
This project marks a significant reunion between Stewart and Assayas. Their previous collaborations have yielded massive critical success, including the 2015 film Clouds of Sils Maria, for which Stewart earned a Cesar Award for Best Supporting Actress. They also worked together on the supernatural drama Personal Shopper, a film that earned Assayas the Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
According to reports, Spiritual World is expected to follow a similar atmospheric tone to Personal Shopper, though it is being described as having a "steamier" edge.
The Plot: Premonitions and Hauntings
In this new cinematic venture, Stewart will take on the role of a young woman possessed of clairvoyant abilities. The character is depicted as being haunted and plagued by unsettling, mysterious premonitions that drive the narrative forward.
An International Ensemble Cast
The film boasts a stellar international lineup, ensuring a high-caliber performance across the board. Joining Stewart in Spiritual World are:
- Vicky Krieps
- Riley Keough
- Wagner Moura
- Barbara Sukowa (known for Deux)
- Niels Schneider (known for The Unknown)
The production is being spearheaded by producer Olivier Delbosc, who recently teamed up with Assayas for the political thriller The Wizard of the Kremlin. Spiritual World is currently being co-financed by the Franco-German network, Arte France.
Production Timeline
Fans of Stewart and Assayas won't have to wait too long for updates. The film is scheduled to commence principal photography in February, with filming locations spanning across both France and Germany.
